Vectric Aspire Wall Panel

In this video we demonstrate three different methods for creating a textured panel.

Vectric aspire wall panel.

Overall the vectric software made design and fabrication of this project very simple. The whole panel took about an hour to cut but the design time was trial and error and took me a few days to get it down. Many of the vector editing tools which can be used on 2d data in aspire can also be used to edit 3d components. Shapes can be easily scaled moved mirrored distorted grouped trimmed and cropped.

Aspire also allows you to smooth a 3d object or to add draft which creates angled walls on the part good for vacuum forms. The back has two keyhole slots that provide a convenient method to securely hang the shelf unit on your wall. The acrylic panel is in truth fairly simple for just about anyone to make and a nice gift for any occasion. Some lines also used the fluting toolpath.

I used a 2 ballnose.

The panel is made from 2 hdu and is roughly 38 x120 all done using 2d toolpaths.

The aspire project is similar to the original in several ways but redesigned to be a bit smaller. List of materials used. Mdf 12 x 12 acrylic panel wood glue led lights. The first demo uses aspire s texturing toolpath and doesn t require that.
